A guide is fixedly attached to the handle; a cam link, the cam link having a first end rotatably attached to the lever, and the cam link having a second end slidably attached to the guide so that as the lever undergoes rotation the second end of the cam link moves along the guide. A pin allows the second end of the cam link to slide along the guide in response to the toggle as the toggle is urged into the trip position by the circuit breaker going into a trip condition so that the position of the lever indicates that the circuit breaker is in a trip condition.
